Games On Saturday Night
The three games on Saturday night
ought to be good ones, although it is-
. generally believed that the young Sentinels took on more than they can
-chew when they 1 signed to play the
lads from the nrintinp.- department of
McKinley high school. The "Printers
have been doing some - sensational
stunts since the season opened and
they may make "pi" of the Sentinels,
but the latter refuse to accept defeat
in advance, and sturdily maintain that
they will run the Printers through the
press without an offset when they
meet them on the Community Building floor. Still, that same "do or die"
spirit has copped many a game in
every line of athletics.
The Myers Motors Girls are going
to meet the damsels from Ravenna.
It is said they are evenly matched, so
if the breaks run about 50-50 the game
will be an interesting one.

Plays and Players
THE Grand Players presented "Way
Down East" at the Grand in Canton last week and many persons
in The Sun's district saw the play
ancl appreciated the acting. It was
staged clearly under the personal direction of Charles N. Lum with no
attempt at embellishments which
would have overstepped the bounds o/f
probability.
As stated in this column several
weeks ago, this writer saw the first
presentation of "Way Down East" in
Philadelphia more than 30 years ago
when he was employed on a daily'
newspaper in that city, and while he
had confidence in the--Grand Players
to present it well he was not prepared
for the splendid manner in which it
was produced in Canton last week. So
he doffs liis hat to Mr. Lum and every
member of the cast.

BRIEF HISTORY OF PLAY
On Friday night,'Jan. 18, Harold
Bell Wright's famous story, "The
Shepherd of the Hills," will be shown
as a First National picture in the
Community Building. The Senior
Class of the North Canton high school
is bringing the picture here, and the
class will receive a certain portion of
the money received from the sale of
tickets. A comedy and news reel are
the other features. Prices: 20c, 30c,

REGULAR patron of the "spoken
word" offered a suggestion to this
writer. Said he: "Why not revive
some of the old-time strong plays?"
And be it understood, he knows a well
produced play when he sees one. "I
think they would attract many persons to the Grand. Notice the large
crowd here tonight—the best people in Canton and nearby towns. This
company is a thoroughly capable one
and the old plays in their hands will
be a success. Then, too, it is well to
remember that many of the modern
shows lack the 'punch' of the old-timers, and 'punch' is what the public
wants. I feel sure that the experiment would be a success," he said.
■ tit
That great minds run in the same
channel is shown in the fact that the
Grand management has . decided to
stage a number of plays that were
great favorites back in what we call
"the good old days." These plays are
new to the present generation but
their fathers and mothers enjoyed
them, and there is. no reason why
they should fail today. There was
"substance" in many of the old plays,
and dramatic talent of a high order
was required to present them. That
the present players in Canton are -seasoned actors and capable of doing
justice to the plays of former years
is too well known to receive attention here.
t t t
Persons of refinement do not care
for the so-called "vodvil" they see ancl
hear these clays. Many of the "jokes"
are an insult to one's intelligence, and
in the old days such "vodvil- headliners," as they now call themselves,
would be hooted oft'., the stage. Of
course* there are a few exceptions, but
they are so rare that even booking-
managers wonder if such originality
isn't too original to last more than-
one season.
[By the Pastor]
On Friday evening, Jan. 18, after
holy hour, there will be a very important meeting of the promoters for
the newly organized Society for the
Propagation of the Faith- Quite a
number have signified their desire for
this work, but we need a few more.
All, who wish to volunteer, will kindly
attend the meeting next Friday evening. Joseph Blubaugh is executive
secretary of the organization under
the guiclance of the pastor.
Each nrc-motev will receive about
ten members in his or her band. The
work to be carried out by the promoters will be given in detail. It is important, then, that you attend' this
meeting, if you will be a promoter.
Communion and Election
The Confraternity of the Blessed
Sacrament will receive monthly Communion in a body next Sunclay at the
8 o'clock Mass. Members will remember that the regular bi-monthly meeting will be helcl next Sunclay afternoon. All members are requested to
try to be present. Election of officers
for the new year will be one of the
important business matters.

NE column this writer reads witii
pleasure is "Looking Backward"
by Richard R. (Dick) Harter in
the Canton Daily News. "Dick," as
his many friends call him, has.a winning personality, ancl his quiet humor
and innate refinement show in all his
paragraphs. .There is nothing smacking of the slapstick and sawdust in
his fun, and he frequently points a
moral without dragging in four or
five "shudders."
The picture of the genial Dick and
Miss Maud M. Howel's gazing at the
thermometer as it registered "6
below" on the first page of Monday's
Daily News was one of the best this
writer has seen in a long time. Dick,
in shirt-sleeves, is saying, "Shucks,
this isn't cold weather," to which Miss
Howells responds, "Br-r-r-r!' Ancl
much as we love Dick, our vote goes
to "Br-r-r-r!"
North Canton's Oldest Resident,
She Was 102, Was Born In a
Log Cabin On the Jackson
Township Farm of Her Father, David Braucher.
CAME OF PIONEER STOCK
Mrs.. Mary , Ann Lichtenwalter,
North Canton's oldest and highly respected resident, was buried today
(Wednesday) in Mudbrook cemetery,
the Rev. Paul A. Rempe, pastor of
Zion Lutheran church, officiating, assisted by the Rev. L. Fudge of Canal
Fulton and L. T. Lewis. Short services were held in the home in North
Canton. She died on Sunday evening,
Jan. 13, at the age of 102.
On August 2, 182G, Mary Ann
Braucher (her maiden name) was born
in the log cabin on the Jackson township farm of her father, David Braucher, the youngest daughter in a family of six children.
Was Mentally Alert
Until quite recently Mrs. Lichtenwalter was active both mentally and
physically. Of a genial, happy disposition, socially inclined, she was ever
ready for company and often related
experiences of her early life.
Her education was received in a
small log structure where she was

It Isn't Slang
LOOKING through an eastern newspaper yesterday this writer noticed that an English writer referred to our use of "sure" in such
expressions as "It sure is" as Yankee
slang. As a matter of fact, it isn't
slang, .Yankee or non-Yankee.
The word. "sure" has been used as
an adverb for centuries. For instance,
Shakespeare makes Marc Anthony
say, "Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and sure he is an honorable
man."
According- to this English critic, our
starting of sentences with the words,
"Believe me" is Yankee slang. More
than a hundred years ago an Irish
poet, Thomas Moore, wrote, "Believe
me, if all these endearing young
charms—"
Wonder jf English writers—or some
of them—read their own literature?
FARM WOMAN'S CLUB
Next Meeting Will Be On Thursday,
Jan. 31, With Mrs. Bair. .;
In a notice of the Farm Woman's
club last week it was stated that the
next meeting would be on Thursday,
Feb. 7. That is wrong. The regular
meeting should be Feb. 7, but owing
to farmers' week being held in Columbus that week the local meeting date
is Thursday, Jan. 31, with Mrs. Carl
Bair.
O. P. Kidder, director of music in
The Community Christian church, and
whose work as conductor of "Elijah"
in May, 1928, established firmly his
reputation, was asked by The Sun this
week to give the public his views on
community singing and niusic in general.
"Your directing in the Community
Building on Sunday night met. with
warm approval from a numerous audience and the public is naturally interested in anything- you may say
about singing," said this writer for
The Sun.
"I appreciate that," said Mr. Kidder, "but if there is any credit coming, and.I tl'^ok--tlicn-'^fe, it'-ls-stacgs
to tho individual singcrr, members of
the chorus and Miss Ella Geidlinger
and Mrs. Ward Mathie, pianists. Considering- the weather and the amount
of sickness in our ranks, 'The Coming of the King' was a worth-while
program."
Likes the Coimnunily Chorus
"Then you are heartily in favor of
the Community Chorus?"*
Mr. Kidder's eyes glistened. "The
Community Chorus," he replied, "is
one of the 'prides' of North Canton.
To bring greater credit to this town
and to the Community Chorus as a
unit, more performances would naturally be a means to inspire frequent rehearsals. A group of people, interested and working at the same thing
will approach perfection. All the fine
arts have a place in our lives. Music
is one of the fine arts. It portrays
human emotions in such a manner
that people are better for having
heard, played, or sung—provided, of
course, that the music motif is elevating and productive of thought.
"The getting together for special or
seasonal occasions is better than no
effort, but the limited rehearsals before a performance are proof that better work could be done if 'finish' could
be given compositions before the time
of public performance," he said.
He Likes To Sing
"This is not an unkind criticism.
All of us in the Chorus are singing
because we like to sing and value the
appreciation of the audience. I get
a 'thrill' while directing or singing
which cannot be bought or sold. 1
have pride in my community. Whatever I can clo for its welfare is my
privilege and duty to do well—to the
best of my ability.
"I firmly believe each member of
the Chorus feels the same. All are
on a par. The credit belongs to the
Chorus as an entity. If there is a
'fluke' or 'fizzle' it should bo charged
to the director-because his interpretations and directions are being followed," said Mr. Kidder.
"May I please convey my sincere
appreciation to all who practiced with
the Chorus, and those who could not
attend, through the columns of Thc
Sun. Thank you also for your fine
news story in The Sun a few weeks
ago. The Sun is certainly doing its
share to boost music in this district,
and I and others certainly appreciate
the service," said Mr. Kidder.
o
Thc Coming of the King," a can-
Down from tata by Dudley Buck, was sung by the
augmented choirs of North Canton on
Sunday night before an enthusiastic
audience in the Community Building.
In a recent edition of The Sun, a
descriptive story was printed about
the composition. Needless to say, the
joyousness and brilliance of Buck's
work wns woll interpreted by the
chorus.
In spite of the prevalent sickness in
this community, the chorus was well
balanced. Mr. Kidder said that illness
among menibers of thc chorus prevented the whole group from having
a rehearsal- attended by tlie entire
personnel. Some members who had
been faithful to every rehearsal were
confined in their homos on Sunday
night. Mrs. Wehl, who had an important solo and duet part, was unable to attend. In her stead, Miss
June Evans substituted very creditably, having only a very short time
for preparation.

no doubt the best balanced and largest group that has been assembled fo

limelight when bestowed upon himself.
Had To Be There
He could not escape last night's reception. Too many times has The Boss
sidestepped invitations to be the one
shining star, and this year the Chamber of Commerce was determined to
have him as their guest.
It was a pleasure to hear the
speakers tell of the many good qualities of the man from North Canton.
They meant every word of what they
said, and Mr. Hoover knew it. It was
a remarkable tribute to.a remarkable
man, and all North Canton feels just
a little bit "chestier" because our first
citizen was the guest of honor of the
brightest minds in Canton.

,Tlic soloists were all in fine voice.
Miss June Evans, soprano, who had
not been heard with the Community
Chorus before, sang with ease and
charm. Miss Lola Holben, contralto,
who sang "The Virgin's Lullaby," did
an exceptional piece of interpretative
work. Harold Schiltz, in his two excellent tenor numbers, displayed the
required dramatic interpretation to
make one remember his fine work. In
two short legato passages, Earl
Greenho created the necessary atmosphere for the choruses which followed.

asset, and_ within a short time they
will be singing important roles in
productions given by the Community
Chorus.
Pianists Fine Work
A decided innovation for North
Canton was the accompaniment of
two pianos. It must be remembered
that the instrumental score is decidedly a work for an organ. Efforts
were made to set up an orchestration,
but tho arrangement of the score
prevented this. Much praise must be
uiven Miss Geidlinger nnd Mrs.
Mathie for their splendid work. It was
a rarity to hear an afterbeat stroke
from one /of the two pianos.
Thc question "Are both pianos being played?" often came to mind.
The prelude "Noel" was played with
charm and grace. The two accompanists contributed in a largo manner to
the success of the Chorus.
Tho Community Building is to be
commended for presenting these singers in such works as "The Coming of
the King." Like comnositions should
be sung frequently. The Communitv
Chorus is. one of the

the night before Christmas there was
an extra amount of business to transact.

full paid up membership. This is just

. generally believed that the young Sentinels took on more than they can
-chew when they 1 signed to play the
lads from the nrintinp.- department of
McKinley high school. The "Printers
have been doing some - sensational
stunts since the season opened and
they may make "pi" of the Sentinels,
but the latter refuse to accept defeat
in advance, and sturdily maintain that
they will run the Printers through the
press without an offset when they
meet them on the Community Building floor. Still, that same "do or die"
spirit has copped many a game in
every line of athletics.
The Myers Motors Girls are going
to meet the damsels from Ravenna.
It is said they are evenly matched, so
if the breaks run about 50-50 the game
will be an interesting one.

Plays and Players
THE Grand Players presented "Way
Down East" at the Grand in Canton last week and many persons
in The Sun's district saw the play
ancl appreciated the acting. It was
staged clearly under the personal direction of Charles N. Lum with no
attempt at embellishments which
would have overstepped the bounds o/f
probability.
As stated in this column several
weeks ago, this writer saw the first
presentation of "Way Down East" in
Philadelphia more than 30 years ago
when he was employed on a daily'
newspaper in that city, and while he
had confidence in the--Grand Players
to present it well he was not prepared
for the splendid manner in which it
was produced in Canton last week. So
he doffs liis hat to Mr. Lum and every
member of the cast.

REGULAR patron of the "spoken
word" offered a suggestion to this
writer. Said he: "Why not revive
some of the old-time strong plays?"
And be it understood, he knows a well
produced play when he sees one. "I
think they would attract many persons to the Grand. Notice the large
crowd here tonight—the best people in Canton and nearby towns. This
company is a thoroughly capable one
and the old plays in their hands will
be a success. Then, too, it is well to
remember that many of the modern
shows lack the 'punch' of the old-timers, and 'punch' is what the public
wants. I feel sure that the experiment would be a success," he said.
■ tit
That great minds run in the same
channel is shown in the fact that the
Grand management has . decided to
stage a number of plays that were
great favorites back in what we call
"the good old days." These plays are
new to the present generation but
their fathers and mothers enjoyed
them, and there is. no reason why
they should fail today. There was
"substance" in many of the old plays,
and dramatic talent of a high order
was required to present them. That
the present players in Canton are -seasoned actors and capable of doing
justice to the plays of former years
is too well known to receive attention here.
t t t
Persons of refinement do not care
for the so-called "vodvil" they see ancl
hear these clays. Many of the "jokes"
are an insult to one's intelligence, and
in the old days such "vodvil- headliners," as they now call themselves,
would be hooted oft'., the stage. Of
course* there are a few exceptions, but
they are so rare that even booking-
managers wonder if such originality
isn't too original to last more than-
one season.
[By the Pastor]
On Friday evening, Jan. 18, after
holy hour, there will be a very important meeting of the promoters for
the newly organized Society for the
Propagation of the Faith- Quite a
number have signified their desire for
this work, but we need a few more.
All, who wish to volunteer, will kindly
attend the meeting next Friday evening. Joseph Blubaugh is executive
secretary of the organization under
the guiclance of the pastor.
Each nrc-motev will receive about
ten members in his or her band. The
work to be carried out by the promoters will be given in detail. It is important, then, that you attend' this
meeting, if you will be a promoter.
Communion and Election
The Confraternity of the Blessed
Sacrament will receive monthly Communion in a body next Sunclay at the
8 o'clock Mass. Members will remember that the regular bi-monthly meeting will be helcl next Sunclay afternoon. All members are requested to

NE column this writer reads witii

by Richard R. (Dick) Harter in
the Canton Daily News. "Dick," as
his many friends call him, has.a winning personality, ancl his quiet humor
and innate refinement show in all his
paragraphs. .There is nothing smacking of the slapstick and sawdust in
his fun, and he frequently points a
moral without dragging in four or
five "shudders."
The picture of the genial Dick and
Miss Maud M. Howel's gazing at the
thermometer as it registered "6

Daily News was one of the best this
writer has seen in a long time. Dick,
in shirt-sleeves, is saying, "Shucks,

Howells responds, "Br-r-r-r!' Ancl
much as we love Dick, our vote goes

North Canton's Oldest Resident,
She Was 102, Was Born In a
Log Cabin On the Jackson
Township Farm of Her Father, David Braucher.
CAME OF PIONEER STOCK
Mrs.. Mary , Ann Lichtenwalter,
North Canton's oldest and highly respected resident, was buried today
(Wednesday) in Mudbrook cemetery,
the Rev. Paul A. Rempe, pastor of
Zion Lutheran church, officiating, assisted by the Rev. L. Fudge of Canal
Fulton and L. T. Lewis. Short services were held in the home in North
Canton. She died on Sunday evening,
Jan. 13, at the age of 102.
On August 2, 182G, Mary Ann
Braucher (her maiden name) was born
in the log cabin on the Jackson township farm of her father, David Braucher, the youngest daughter in a family of six children.
Was Mentally Alert
Until quite recently Mrs. Lichtenwalter was active both mentally and
physically. Of a genial, happy disposition, socially inclined, she was ever
ready for company and often related
experiences of her early life.
Her education was received in a

It Isn't Slang
LOOKING through an eastern newspaper yesterday this writer noticed that an English writer referred to our use of "sure" in such
expressions as "It sure is" as Yankee
slang. As a matter of fact, it isn't
slang, .Yankee or non-Yankee.
The word. "sure" has been used as
an adverb for centuries. For instance,
Shakespeare makes Marc Anthony
say, "Yet Brutus says he was ambitious, and sure he is an honorable
man."
According- to this English critic, our
starting of sentences with the words,
"Believe me" is Yankee slang. More
than a hundred years ago an Irish
poet, Thomas Moore, wrote, "Believe
me, if all these endearing young
charms—"
Wonder jf English writers—or some
of them—read their own literature?
FARM WOMAN'S CLUB
Next Meeting Will Be On Thursday,
Jan. 31, With Mrs. Bair. .;
In a notice of the Farm Woman's
club last week it was stated that the
next meeting would be on Thursday,
Feb. 7. That is wrong. The regular
meeting should be Feb. 7, but owing
to farmers' week being held in Columbus that week the local meeting date
is Thursday, Jan. 31, with Mrs. Carl
Bair.
O. P. Kidder, director of music in
The Community Christian church, and
whose work as conductor of "Elijah"
in May, 1928, established firmly his
reputation, was asked by The Sun this
week to give the public his views on
community singing and niusic in general.
"Your directing in the Community
Building on Sunday night met. with
warm approval from a numerous audience and the public is naturally interested in anything- you may say
about singing," said this writer for
The Sun.
"I appreciate that," said Mr. Kidder, "but if there is any credit coming, and.I tl'^ok--tlicn-'^fe, it'-ls-stacgs
to tho individual singcrr, members of
the chorus and Miss Ella Geidlinger
and Mrs. Ward Mathie, pianists. Considering- the weather and the amount
of sickness in our ranks, 'The Coming of the King' was a worth-while
program."
Likes the Coimnunily Chorus
"Then you are heartily in favor of
the Community Chorus?"*
Mr. Kidder's eyes glistened. "The
Community Chorus," he replied, "is
one of the 'prides' of North Canton.
To bring greater credit to this town
and to the Community Chorus as a
unit, more performances would naturally be a means to inspire frequent rehearsals. A group of people, interested and working at the same thing
will approach perfection. All the fine
arts have a place in our lives. Music
is one of the fine arts. It portrays
human emotions in such a manner
that people are better for having
heard, played, or sung—provided, of
course, that the music motif is elevating and productive of thought.
"The getting together for special or
seasonal occasions is better than no
effort, but the limited rehearsals before a performance are proof that better work could be done if 'finish' could
be given compositions before the time
of public performance," he said.
He Likes To Sing
"This is not an unkind criticism.
All of us in the Chorus are singing
because we like to sing and value the
appreciation of the audience. I get
a 'thrill' while directing or singing
which cannot be bought or sold. 1
have pride in my community. Whatever I can clo for its welfare is my
privilege and duty to do well—to the
best of my ability.
"I firmly believe each member of
the Chorus feels the same. All are
on a par. The credit belongs to the
Chorus as an entity. If there is a
'fluke' or 'fizzle' it should bo charged
to the director-because his interpretations and directions are being followed," said Mr. Kidder.
"May I please convey my sincere
appreciation to all who practiced with
the Chorus, and those who could not
attend, through the columns of Thc
Sun. Thank you also for your fine
news story in The Sun a few weeks
ago. The Sun is certainly doing its
share to boost music in this district,
and I and others certainly appreciate
the service," said Mr. Kidder.
o
Thc Coming of the King," a can-
Down from tata by Dudley Buck, was sung by the
augmented choirs of North Canton on
Sunday night before an enthusiastic
audience in the Community Building.
In a recent edition of The Sun, a
descriptive story was printed about
the composition. Needless to say, the
joyousness and brilliance of Buck's
work wns woll interpreted by the
chorus.
In spite of the prevalent sickness in
this community, the chorus was well
balanced. Mr. Kidder said that illness
among menibers of thc chorus prevented the whole group from having
a rehearsal- attended by tlie entire
personnel. Some members who had
been faithful to every rehearsal were
confined in their homos on Sunday
night. Mrs. Wehl, who had an important solo and duet part, was unable to attend. In her stead, Miss
June Evans substituted very creditably, having only a very short time
for preparation.

limelight when bestowed upon himself.
Had To Be There
He could not escape last night's reception. Too many times has The Boss
sidestepped invitations to be the one
shining star, and this year the Chamber of Commerce was determined to
have him as their guest.
It was a pleasure to hear the
speakers tell of the many good qualities of the man from North Canton.
They meant every word of what they
said, and Mr. Hoover knew it. It was
a remarkable tribute to.a remarkable

Miss June Evans, soprano, who had

Chorus before, sang with ease and

an exceptional piece of interpretative
work. Harold Schiltz, in his two excellent tenor numbers, displayed the
required dramatic interpretation to

will be singing important roles in

Pianists Fine Work
A decided innovation for North
Canton was the accompaniment of
two pianos. It must be remembered
that the instrumental score is decidedly a work for an organ. Efforts
were made to set up an orchestration,
but tho arrangement of the score
prevented this. Much praise must be
uiven Miss Geidlinger nnd Mrs.
Mathie for their splendid work. It was
a rarity to hear an afterbeat stroke
from one /of the two pianos.
Thc question "Are both pianos being played?" often came to mind.
The prelude "Noel" was played with
charm and grace. The two accompanists contributed in a largo manner to
the success of the Chorus.
Tho Community Building is to be
commended for presenting these singers in such works as "The Coming of
the King." Like comnositions should
be sung frequently. The Communitv
